Amber magic

The hobbit is animated! NO! No it can't be! Please, have mercy!

off topic guys. And that disney thing sucked! Why did he sell it to them? Another brain fart by Eion Colfer. I don't think I'll see it. I won't like it. I won't.
Ok nback to the amber magic thing. I reallly thought colfer would lead somewhere with it but guess not. Maybe the brain fart thing was right. I'm glad Holly isn't losing it. That would suck for her.

[shadowsnake451]

How do you know that she isn't? Do you have some special insight? GOD IF YOU DO PLEASE TELL US!

[IwishIwasafaerie]

No, just intuition, sorry if I was misleading. I don't think the amber magic thing is gonna be an issue again cause he didn't bring it up in book 7. He could be saving it in his box of tricks for all I know.

ok for one thing Holly will NOTbe kicked out of the LEP just cause she has a human eye and instead of blue sparks came amber sparks. Who cares?!? whats the difference? And has the thought occured to u that this was the only time amber sparks came throughout the book? So that kicks one of ur ideas out.

[Jayjay]

I agree. My alter-ego is amazing at proving stuff, she should be a lawyer.

[shadowsnake451]

It dpesn't matter that it only came up once in the book, the point is, it did come up. For example, in TTP, Artemis's laser pointer only came up once, and then as an aside, but it was an important part in his final showdown with Opal. So just because something is barely mentioned, doesn't mean it won't be important.

I think the Amber magic was just a brain fart with the name or maybe she did get it from her eye because she's the first fairy ever to have a human eye. Also Holly could have been under a lot of strees and was scared cus right before thatshe saw Vinyaya get killed by that shuttle.

Shadow I really didn't like it when you said this:
"Amber and brown colours are always linked to death and decay."

Just look at my name, you said I was death and decay! But it's ok. If I were to have any kind of magic it would be Amber magic.

i just thought it had to do with the human eye and aging. So maybe when she got Artemis's eye, then she gotten human ish and it mentions that she's in her 80's so in human years 80 is pretty old. That's my theory anyway

[shadowsnake451]

Oh my God, Amber Root, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it like that! Anyway, I'm a goth, so I spend most of my time thinking about death and decay! I'm creepy and weird! I'll go edit that out right now. I feel so awful.

Guys, guys, relax!

Holly isn't losing any magic. She's just getting on in years.

[shadowsnake451]

Root was more than twice her age, and his sparks were blue.

[FowlStar]

Very nice point... I think Colfer messed up with that one. But now, amber magic is a sign of old age among fairies. Page 88 of the AC proves that... so maybe there's something wrong with Root? Or Amber magic doesn't show up in all fairies...

[TungstenMessah]

Naw, Holly's magic is messed up, remember? And Holly isn't THAT old...

I think it's to do with No1's magic inside her.

[Amber Root]

It could mean that Holly was changing into a full adult, like getting older. Or it could only happen for the females.
